Students Openings

 

Latest Openings:

Ph.D. Students:

1) Polymer Chemistry:

Brief Outline :

Using In-house designed and developed scanning microstereolithography set up it is possible to fabricate 3-D Microdevices. Diverse properties of different photocurable polymers can be used further for the fabrication of functional microdevice. Properties Optimization of different photopolymers for the free surface, constrained surface and IH microstereolithography process will help in getting control over the z-direction of microcomponents.

2) MEMS:Analysis of flexural logic gates:

Brief Outline :

At low or high temperature, control is lost as semiconductor revert to intrinsic behaviour. Creating mechanical logic units, with technology provided by MEMS has wide potential.

3) If you have interested in MEMS and would like to do some fruitful state-of-the-art for our countruy please send your CV we can always find a suitable position/outlet for such a zeal and enthusiasm. category.

If you feel you meet any of these requirements please write to me mentioning "Ph D student (topic no)" in the subject line.

 

M.Tech Students :

1) Position are open for students under Research Assistant : category.

The student is expected to get involved in the research work related to the Laboratory. The student will be considered for admission to Three Year M.Tech. under Research Assistant (RA) category in Department of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Bombay.

 

Summer Students:

1) Electronics background with specialization in microprocessor/hardware.

2) Computer science/Electronics background, having knowledge of serial port and microprocessor for the development of continuous data streaming interface with serial interface of dSPACE.

3) Embedded system specialist: for the design and development of embedded system for Microstereolithography.

4) Mechatronics: for automation of z-stage.

If you feel you meet any of these requirements please write to me mentioning "intern (topic no)(duration start and end date)" in the subject line.
